Review & Swatcheroonies: 17 B.B Cream in Medium

Swatcheroonies:
Okay, so the close up photo doesn't really sell the product but it was the best photo I could get of the shimmer without blurring them out because I was too close or not close enough. I was actually quite impressed with the fact that they didn't really fly off in all...

Swatcheroonies:
Peaches & Cream reminds me of Stereo Rose by MAC which was a limited edition MSF last year and has been much loved in my collection but this is definitely a lighter version and doesn't swatch as pink as the MAC version. It also appears to be very similar in colour to the...

Swatcheroonies:
Like I said earlier, I had to grab any shades while I could because there were loads of girls trying to get their hands on the shadows so the shades don't really complement each other as well as I would have liked them to. All four shades I picked are metallic and shimmery...

The collection is based on three eyeshadow trios and matching nail polishes so I've split the review and into two so the post isn't too photo heavy.
First up, the eyeshadow trios.
I receive loads of press releases via email and through the post but this was definitely one of the first...
